Friday Favorites for March 8!

It’s Friday already. Huh. This week has been a classic “the days are long, but the weeks are short” kind of time period for me. As always, I feel like I didn’t get enough done – but at the same time, so what? I’m tired of trying to be supermom (though at some point I’ll attempt to do it again and remind myself why I chose not to do it in the first place.). Anyway – on to the favorites!

Sleepy babies. Especially because most attempts to take photos of him lately turn out like the second photo. Constant motion!

Opportunities to wear my Alpha Sigma Alpha badge. I don’t bust out the rubies and pearls often enough these days.

I discovered Mindbloom this week, and I’m loving it. I can only use the Life Game right now because the Juice and Bloom apps are for Iphone only (grumble grumble – why is it that all the apps I want are only made for Iphone? Just as many people have Android phones! Boo.) But they say they’re developing an Android app. I hope it comes soon! Anyway, the Life Game is kinda fun – it’s an inspiration/life development tool, so you create your tree and the branches are different aspects of your life (health, relationships, career, etc). You choose actions to do every day that support/build these areas of your life – and your tree grows! Am I wierd to think that’s fun? I like it. And I think my favorite part is that when I hit the “Get Inspired” button there is an endless slide show of awesome photos with quotes attached. Love that. If you decide to join the life game – let me know so we can be friends! 🙂

Bigelow “Constant Comment” black tea. I love this tea! It’s flavored/scented with orange rind and a “sweet spice” and it smells incredible when it’s brewing. Definite pick me up in the morning (or in that afternoon slump).

Cuties. Is there anyone who doesn’t love these? They’re easy to peel, portable and tasty. Though, admittedly, as much as I love citrus I’m ready for some spring/summer fruit!

I confirmed that we’ll be getting both a fruit and veggie CSA share again this year! We have a full fruit share and will have an every-other-week veggie share through Harmony Valley Farm. I’m excited to have more spring veggies – last year we had our veggie share with a smaller farm and essentially got 90% beets and kale. I love beets and kale, of course, but I’m hoping for some ramps, or garlic scapes or broccoli! I’ll definitely do some CSA haul posts this year too!

One of my favorite guilty pleasures: The Chicken Apple Sausage Daybreaker from Caribou. Anyone else? The darn things are just so good. I have no idea why, because it’s a reheated breakfast sandwich for cripes sake – but I love them.

LuSa Organics sleeping potion. It’s basically an aromatherapy essential oil blend that is supposed to be relaxing and help babies sleep. I don’t know if it’s making a huge difference, but it smells lovely. We have some Cranky Pants on the way. Hopefully if we put it in Dave’s bath he won’t be such a grouchopotamus for Daddy as he gets him ready for bed.
